Hello,
I posted last night but did not receive an answer. I am trying to create a 
fulltext index, but my table was created as an InnoDB type.

There is quite a bit of data there (1000+ records) and I need to change to a 
MyISAM table for the indexing for fulltext search.

How can I convert the InnoDB to a MyISAM, and also, when using MyISAM, can I 
have foreign key relationships?



- ALTER TABLE table_name TYPE=MyISAM;

- and no, you can't have foreign keys with MyISAM tables--or rather, there's nothing preventing you using foreign keys but you will have to enforce referential integrity programmatically. MySQL won't do it for you.
